...of course, that should have been
# (close brace, not close paren!)
$num = $months{lc($q->param('month'))};
And an explanation: You don't really need the lc function, since
you are controlling what's in the option list. So, actually, it boils
down to
$num = $months{$q->param('month')};
After you have gotten Joe's solution working, go read up on
hashes. They are very simple, and very powerful.
Then, go read up on anonymous hashes. They provide you with a
fabulous way to implement records and other very nifty data
structures with Perl. They are slightly more complicated than
simple, named hashes. You'll want to grok anonymous arrays, too!
